ROMANTICISM

IN LITERATURE
Contextualization on romantic literature:

Literary Romanticism is a movement that emerged in the late 18th

and early 19th centuries. It rejects tradition and embraces rebellion in
art, literature, and life. Romanticism celebrates the individual in general
but places special emphasis on those living in isolation and nature. For
the Romantics, nature reflected the human heart and spirit and
provided a way for humans to connect with the soul. Not surprisingly,
the Romantics usually hated the dirty, crowded cities, where "modern"
life, driven by science and technology, prevailed.

Fall, leaves, fall:

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.

By Emily Bronte.

Remember!
A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or

idea or make a comparison.

Fall, leaves, fall

(BY EMILY BRONTË)
Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away; (for example)
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
